580k bucket dimensions

[rdavison39]

Hi there - i current have a 24" bucket on the back of the hoe and i see a 12" ditching bucket i'd like to buy. Measuring my current 24" bucket i have 14" between the 1 3/4" pin and the 1 1/2" pin (That is, 14 inches between the centres of the 2 holes). The 12" ditching bucket has 14 1/2" centers between the 2 holes. Will a bucket with 14.5" centres work on a Case580k or does the bucket have to be exactly 14" centers....

Thx

If your 580K still uses the "quick assist link" - the other bucket won't fit, as the link controls the spacing that you have & it is not adjustable.

Thx Arlman - not sure if i have the "quick assist link". Attaching some pics...

The 14" (between centres) is what is on there now (i.e. the 24" bucket). The 14.5" is the ditching bucket i'd like to put on...

Thx
Ron

I'd have to say it probably won't work unless you oblong one of the holes, then it will be sloppy. Just what it looks like to me.
